What a Good Slipped Disc Exercise Should be Like

Most of the physical exercises that help you get some pain relief have one thing in common: they all work towards taking pressure away from the affected area and getting oxygen to it. Good exercises that can do this are:


  • Balance Exercises - They activate the muscles around the herniated disc and thus release the loading the disc gets.

  • Stretching Exercises - This kind of exercise relaxes the involved muscles and improves your flexibility.

  • Strengthening Exercises - By building strong muscles in the back and particularly in your concerned area, you work towards getting pressure off of the prolapsed disc.

  • Spinal Extension Exercises - Lay down on your stomach and elbows (or on your hands with straightened arms if you can) for 2 minutes and then relax. This causes the lower back to build a curve which makes the disc move away from the nerves. This is also known a the McKenzie exercise.

  • Bouncing Exercises - This typically up and down movements help getting new oxygen and nutrition into the discs.


  • Doing these exercises regularly will help you relieve the most acute pain, for learning how to get rid of the pain for good go to FixMyDiscDisease.info.




WARNING: Conventional Exercises are of Temporary Help Only

The herniated disc repair exercises you find on the lists of most physiotherapists and chiropractors unfortunately only treat the symptoms of your condition. In order to combat the causes of your pain, you have to go further!

In order to achieve lasting results and to get rid of the back pain for good, you must understand the underlying root cause of your back pain.

The information you'll find in this book and on FixMyDiscDisease.info will help you discover what your unique condition is and how to treat it.
